Cambridge beat Fulham Under-21s 2-0 in the EFL Trophy at the Abbey Stadium as fans were allowed to attend a competitive fixture in England for the first time in six months. Tom Knowles’ first-half free-kick and Paul Mullin’s late effort sealed victory for Cambridge against their Southern Group H rivals in front of 862 supporters. Cambridge had been chosen to host two games as part of the government and EFL’s pilot scheme, with 2,500 fans allowed for Saturday’s opening Sky Bet League Two game against Carlisle. A historic night where we were the first fans to watch competitive football in the EFL. Thank you to everyone at the club for making it happen, cant wait to do it again on Saturday 🧡🖤 https://t.co/6TnWJlowvN — CUSP (@CUSP2019) September 8, 2020Knowles fired home direct from a 24th-minute free-kick, low into the bottom corner.
